I have been looking for for a month for wheel weights for my QL 1000, SW Virginia ain't Central PA. No luck finding weights.
Saturday I was putting the sleeve hitch on my "new" 1000 and noticed there is some wasted space between the frame and the fenders.
I went to the shop today (20 miles from the Cub) and noticed I had a "drop" of 3/4" x10" steel bar. I thought , what the heck, that might make a weight.
From my memory and what was left of that drop I cut some weights.
I put the part in the torch and did a quick program to cut two parts out of each drop I had.
The torch moves to the start position and preheats.

After 15 seconds, the oxygen comes on, the torch starts cutting 20 inches per minute.

Cutting in the second direction, the parts fall off.

The finished parts ready to drill mounting holes.
